*Yes, there’s a pandemic going on, but so is a presidential election. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden hosted a town hall on MSNBC Thursday night with special guest Stacey Abrams.

Georgia’s former gubernatorial candidate, whose name has been floated as a possible vice presidential pick, joined Biden for the back half of the hour-long conversation, during which the pair touched on several topics, including voting rights, the the pandemic, the unfolding investigation into the murder of Ahmaud Arbery – and how they are all interconnected.

“Only in America, is jogging in 2020 while black and sleeping while black a cause for killing,” Abrams said. “Our ability to vote is exactly how to solve one of the challenges that the Vice President (Biden) lifts up – we have to have the ability to elect district attorneys who actually respect our people, that we can elect people as our sheriffs that actually execute laws properly.”

“That is what we have to take to the voting booth in November and into the presidency and into the White House in January,” she concluded.

Abrams also spoke about how to end voter suppression and ensure a fair election in November, saying: “The way to overcome voter misinformation and Russian interference is to overwhelm the polls with our presence.”
